How you get paid

This explains how the money from your book sales reaches you. You connect your own Stripe account. When a reader buys a book on your site, the money goes straight into that account, and Stripe pays it into your bank. The Toolchest never holds your money. 1. Choose Account. 2. Under How you get paid, choose Connect Stripe. 3. Follow the steps on Stripe. If you already have a Stripe account, log in to it. If you do not, Stripe helps you create one. 4. When Stripe sends you back, the Account screen shows that Stripe is connected. Stripe can take a day or two to check your details. Until then the screen says Stripe is checking them, and you can choose Check again. To see a payment, make a refund or find the date of your next bank transfer, choose Open Stripe. Good to know: connect Stripe before you set a price on a book. Stripe takes its card fee from each sale. Refunds are made from your own Stripe account. Selling switches on when you subscribe.
